Airline Fees for Luggage

The number of airline fees has risen so dramatically that keeping track of them is nearly impossible – and the ones that seem to increase the fastest are the luggage fees.

Most airlines these days charge for certain checked bags, and some even charge for carry-on bags. Because these fees are almost never included in the price you see when you’re looking for cheap flights, the fare you thought was a great deal may turn out to be pretty much the same as all the others once you’ve added in the luggage fees.

So even though these things change frequently, we thought we’d outline some of the baggage fees that are out there – as well as places you can go to look up current information – in order to help you make an informed purchasing decision.

>> And don’t miss these tips for avoiding checked bag fees, either.

The Luggage Club won’t Lose your Bags

howitworks.jpgWith increased security leading to more people checking their bags in and less bags being taken as carry on items, the number of bags that are lost in transit continues to rise. In August, an average of 14,089 bags were lost each day. That is a lot of lost bags. Where do they all go? Is there a country that exists just to house lost luggage? Luggagestan perhaps?

In any event, losing luggage is about as fun as having your wisdom teeth yanked out by a three-year-old using a rusty screwdriver. There are ways to beat the system and if you are willing to dole out a little extra money for a bit of piece of mind you might want to look into joining the Luggage Club. Their door-to-door service looks to be easy and fast and will save your back from the pain of heavy lifting.
